Anyone trying to stop you from peaceful voluntarily interacting with other people.

Everyone won’t have Liberty. Life isn’t fair and no amount of force can change that. But making a difference for large swaths of people starts with changing our money. By making sure control of the money isn’t gate-kept by the few. Make money understandable and open to anyone instead of opaque and restricted. Most importantly, make sure money can’t be debased so hard working people can save the value they create for others without it being inflated away.

Why is housing so unaffordable? I think a lot of it has to do with the rent seekers at the top using lies and deception to manipulate money so basic needs become evermore unattainable by your average person.

Why do we see such wealth disparity? The ever widening gap of rich and poor is due to financial games where only the privileged and connected get access to dollars when wanting to buy hard goods. Those goods accrue to the top, forcing everyone else to pay rent if they want access to things. Who controls most real estate? Most medicine? It’s not the people, it’s the bankers and their politicians that bloviate about “making change” when the only change is the amount of value they leech from the rest of the world.

This is why I'm a communist now. Merely changing money isn't enough. Besides fiat currency is fine, as long as it's used properly.l, for the People.

Merely changing the base layer of society isn’t enough?

Sure.

Keep helping people how you see fit. Human action is how economies work.

Money isn't the base layer of society. Labor is, as you point out. Money is made up so we know where to allocate labor, but monopolies and wealth disparities in that market cause the labor allocation to be skewed in favor of whatever the rich want, perpetuating an anti-democratic downward spiral into what Russia has today and where we're headed.

What’s the common unit of measurement for labor? How do I translate an hour of my labor into and hour of your labor? Labor is indeed at the core of society but we don’t trade labor for labor. We trade labor for money. I can’t witness your labor easily to understand it’s value. Money is how society scales up.

Socialists and Commies get annoyed at this because they always overestimate the value of their own labour.

Afterall, they have PhD’s in gender studies, they should be making the same as a PhD in Neuroscience or Aeronautical Engineering!

They completely ignore the market for their worthless skillsets and simultaneously devalue the market for the others.

The same logic is why they misunderstand how destructive minimum wage laws are. The market decides value - I’m not hiring someone at minimum wage for basic work that needs to be done, I’ll just bundle it in to my regulated min wage employees jobs instead of hiring someone who could do it cheaper and gain skills in the process.

1 unit of labour =/= 1 unit of someone else’s labour. This should be fucking obvious to anyone with a brain.

Yes. And money that isn't related to labor is nonsense.

If there is labor that needs to be done and money is being held hostage by the wealthy, something needs to change. Changing money doesn't change the capitalistic impulse for accumulation. BTC mining is controlled by less than ten people. At least be an ETH enthusiast, dude.

We know what needs to happen to save the world and improve the life of everyone in society, but rich folks won't let it happen. Crypto isn't the answer

It's been ruined by libertarians, just like America.
